Jim Mangani Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork — Local services in Washington

I've had many massages over my lifetime -- here in the states at posh resorts, medical spas and on international travels (Japan, India, Italy, Thailand, Singapore, Peru, S. Korea, Germany, Slovenia...). I wasn't sure what to expect since my first session with Jim was a gift, but I trusted my friend who said I wouldn't regret it. Suffice it to say I was absolutely blown away! Jim's place is incredibly warm and inviting...you walk into his loft and immediately feel like you're in a Balinese yoga ashram...calming music, candles, lighting...beautifully decorated...chilled cucumber water on his gorgeous kitchen table. THEN there's Jim...so disarming, humble and professional...his overall presence and voice are very soothing! He invested time in getting to know me a bit, preferred pressure, medications, injuries/areas to avoid, etc. I could tell he genuinely cared about my answers and it wasn't just a "formality" for him; I felt relaxed and comfortable already and the massage hadn't even begun! I'm in the military and had just completed my fitness test earlier in the day, so I knew my muscles were crazy tight. I must say it was the best massage I've ever had...Jim is exceptionally talented and absolutely knows what he's doing...he kept checking in with me about the pressure which I very much appreciated. What I enjoyed the most is that unlike so many massages I've had in the past, he was able to sufficiently warm up my usually overly sensitive, tight muscles enough to carefully (and surprisingly without pain) untie knots in my legs and actually stretch me...it felt so incredible! I'm grateful for the entire experience and I will definitely be returning soon. Can't recommend Jim's...

I was in town visiting family and found Jim on Google. As a massage therapist from Utah, his skills were outstanding! Pressure and flow were parallel with some of the best spas in the world. I would recommend his service to all those who come to DC. His studio is extremely comfortable, he uses fantastic products and the whole experience was just what I needed after a long flight and busy schedule in our...

I highly recommend. Jim is very good at communicating to make sure his pressure level is comfortable, that you're doing okay and ensuring that the entire experience is beneficial. After 90 minutes of an incredible massage, I walked about feeling incredibly relaxed for the first time since pre-Covid. The real treat though was the next morning when I woke up fully refreshed. I haven't slept that...
